That’s the holiday spirit, Verizon – throw your subscribers a bone and let them use BlackBerry Maps instead of pigeonholing them into the $9.99/month VZ Navigator service like you have for so long. The latest firmware for the BlackBerry 8330 and BlackBerry 8130 isn’t all roses, though – reports say that Google Maps, easily the fuller-bodied mapping app, is still out of commission. It’s a step in the right direction, but maybe one Verizon should have taken from the get-go. Hopefully they’ll stay in that spirit and allow other apps to access the integrated GPS in the near future.
